ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce GTX 1660 Ti review

In this article, we review the ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. ASUS took the GTX 1660 Ti towards a new level, fitting it with their prime cooler. They also factory tweaked the card for you towards a feisty 1860 Mhz boost frequency.

Problem is this and i quote HH "The price, however, looks to be 339,- in Euros".

Power consumption is better than I expected, and the prices are within my expectations, ordered the MSI Armor version for 320€ (though the cheapest one, Ventus, is 305€ here).

Yeah,if you like playing old games its...worth Gtx 1070 8GB.If you like new games like Metro Exodus and the future Cyberpunk,

Dying Light 2

then get Rtx 2060 in that price.

Hi @HilbertPlease check the Palit review again, title and text contains several times the wording "RTX 1660" instead of GTX, I assume those are typos?Thanks for the reviews!

Not the same price segment. Not even close. Only one around is RX-590 which was meaningless to begin with due to being too expensive in comparison to RX-580 and not performing reasonably better.Try to post it once nV releases 1650(Ti). That time it may work.

It is equal or better than 1070 and Vega56, in the meantime has all the perks mentioned above. RX 590 seems a very bad option now. Almost 100w more power and much less performance. If Nvidia controls the pricing better, they've won easily all the gaming categories at the moment.

Whats the point of this card, and why its call 1660?

There is a lot of difference in the price but I think that the performance at 1080p, which is about + 20%, justifies it? Sure if it was cheaper by 50 dollars but here we have to do with Nvidia And I'm sorry for my English

I'm sorry do you see another card by nvidia that is $279 in this performance? No? Then your question is answered.

I'm very pleased to see that the GTX 1660 Ti holds up against the Vega 56, while also being half as expensive in my country; it's going to sell like hotcakes.
